DVB Posted October 22, 2017 Share Posted October 22, 2017 A bit disappointed everyone wants Cowie back. I think having Callachan means we no longer need to start Cowie. I would also start Cochrane, Brandon and Henderson they all played well in the second half yesterday and improved the team from the pedestrian first half. Also think the last game only Currie got pass marks so it’s worth having some local lads in the team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Callaghan gives you 90 minutes pressing and energy every week, Cowie just can't do that anymore. Depends how the games going, if it's going well you can bring on Currie (who is think is a clever striker) and Henderson. Not sure about Brandon in a derby, Smith and Randall would do better but he does give you something going forward, depends how Levein wants to play it..

portobellojambo1 Posted October 22, 2017 Share Posted October 22, 2017 55 minutes ago, kila said: McLaughlin Randall Souttar Berra Smith Callachan Cowie Walker Isma Henderson Lafferty Stockton could be useful for a derby though Not sure of your reasoning Kila behind putting Randall at right back and moving Michael Smith away from his best position. Possibly because people are looking at Boyle being a danger on the right wing, whereas I think, from the very little I've seen of him, that the guy they have on loan from Man City who plays wide left could potentially be a bigger problem. Certainly he looks as if he has quite a burst of pace, and I'd prefer to see Smith up against him. As for the left back spot, it does create a problem, and it might go against the grain but I'd be tempted to stick Brandon in there again. Randall might do something for us a little further forward and within your team choice there is an obvious place as it seems there is little to no chance of Cowie making the game (although I'd prefer to see Harry Cochrane playing, I think that young lad is going to go on to be a big, big star for us).

Martin_T Posted October 22, 2017 Share Posted October 22, 2017 Midfield is the big concern. It pains me to say it but with McGinn, Bartley and McGeough they are probably way ahead of us in that area of the pitch at the moment. That said I think we are probably better defensively and up front. Randall hasn't impressed in midfield but he definitely has physical presence and competes well, I'd be tempted to start him alongside Callahan.

Walter Bishop Posted October 22, 2017 Share Posted October 22, 2017 The main issue is the midfield. We have better defenders and better forward players.

Mr Sifter Posted October 22, 2017 Share Posted October 22, 2017 We've got Levein in the dug out. Berra at the back, Callachan in midfield and Lafferty up front. No way will we be bullied as we were last year. We've got balls about us these days. Somethin we've missed for too long. We'll win on Tuesday.

Bowmans_Boot Posted October 22, 2017 Share Posted October 22, 2017 CL said this weekend that Cowie said he wouldnt be ok for this one. Undoubtedly Randall will return, but the midfield is worrying. That said, we have fight, desire and a will to win again, CL will get them fired up and guys like Berra and Lafferty have the attitude, personality and edge to help the rest of the team rise to the occasion. 2-0, Isma & Lafferty, with Jamie setting both up.

Watt-Zeefuik Posted October 23, 2017 Share Posted October 23, 2017 Any chance of Hughes being back?

Hibs have 1 thing about them, experience, which for me is crucial in a game like this. As you may take from my post I am really worried about the centre of the pitch but I have far more confidence going into a Derby under Levein than Neilson / Cathro Goan the Jy Tees!!
